At mount Geißkopf in the Bavarian Forest there is a small family ski area which offers 8 km of slopes.

In the valley area there are three practice lifts for beginners in the so-called "Geissleinpark". Those who already feel safe on the boards can explore the two blue marked slopes of the skiing area at the two Forsthaus lifts. Most of the slopes at the Geißkopf are marked in red. These are best reached with the Geißkopfbahn railway or the Parallel lift. The family run and the Herrenabfahrt Geißkopf run offer the best carving fun. The Riegel lift also takes you to the Riegel family run and the only black marked run in the ski area, the Herrenabfahrt Riegel run.

There are two fun parks for freestylers on the Geißkopf. The beginner fun park is located directly next to the Forsthaus lifts and the snow park for advanced skiers is a little further up between the Geißkopfbahn railway and the Nordhang lift. The parks are equipped with everything you need: rails, kickers, wallrides,...

From Wednesday to Saturday, the ski area is open for floodlight skiing from 18 to 22 o'clock. Then the Geißkopf and Nordhang T-bar lifts are in operation.

You can stop off at the "Geißkopfhütte" at the Geißkopf mountain station. At 1097m there is not only a great panoramic view of the Bavarian Forest, but also delicious regional dishes. In the valley, winter sports enthusiasts will find the Forstgasthof for a cosy stopover or - if you prefer a more traditional style - the Tauscher ski bar for après-ski fun. If you fancy a beer and a warming mulled wine, you can visit the three snow bars. Cross-country skiers can enjoy delicious food off-piste at the Landshuter Haus. Children are in good hands in the "Wärme-Häusl" right next to the Geissleinpark, where they can take a short break from winter sports.

A chair lift takes you comfortably to the natural toboggan run on the Geißkopf, which is two kilometres long. Ten bends have to be mastered on the way in the forest.

The Geißkopf is also a great area for snowshoe hikes. Ideal, for example, is a hike to the Landshuter Haus, where you can then take a refreshing break.

Those who still haven't had enough of winter sports after skiing can also try out the cross-country ski runs around the Geißkopf.
